Săptămâni fără lumina zilei și zeci de oameni într-un dormitor. Viața pe un portavion american • Newsweek România
The USS George Washington has taken over operations from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has returned home after a nine-month deployment. The approximately 5,000 crew members aboard the George Washington face cramped living conditions, sharing sleeping quarters with many others and often lacking natural light for weeks. Daily life is filled with continuous operations, maintenance work, and rotating shifts, with reports of poor living conditions affecting morale. Families of sailors have raised concerns about the challenges faced during the extended mission, including inadequate facilities and extreme fatigue. Despite these reports, the U.S. Navy claims no increase in suicidal ideation or attempts aboard the ship, providing access to medical and mental health professionals.
